The year 2009 was the centenary of the death of John Millington
Synge, one of the world's great dramatists. To mark the occasion,
this book gathers essays by leading scholars of Irish drama, aiming
to explore the writers and movements that shaped Synge, and to
consider his enduring legacies. Essays discuss Synge's work in its
Irish, European and world contexts - showing his engagement not
just with the Irish literary revival but with European politics and
culture too. The book also explores Synge's influence on later
writers: Irish dramatists such as Brian Friel, Tom Murphy and
Marina Carr, as well as international writers like Mustapha Matura
and Erisa Kironde. It also considers Synge's place in Ireland
today, revealing how The Playboy of the Western World has helped to
shape Ireland's responses to globalisation and multiculturalism, in
celebrated productions by the Abbey Theatre, Druid theatre, and Pan
Pan theatre company. Contributors include Ann Saddlemyer, Ben
Levitas, Mary Burke, Paige Reynolds, Eilis Ni Dhuibhne, Mark
Phelan, Shaun Richards, Ondvrej Pilny, Richard Pine, Alexandra
Poulain, Emilie Pine, Melissa Sihra, Sara Keating, Bisi Adigun,
Adrian Frazier and Anthony Roche.
